French Dinner Rolls and Shrimp with Dipping Sauce

If you like shrimp you should try this recipe.  It is delicious and very easy to prepare.  I made French dinner rolls to serve with it but you can use any kind of bread.

 Here is the recipe for the rolls:

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups warm water
• 1 package yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 1/2  bread flour
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Add the warm water to your mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add the yeast and sugar. Let set for 5 minutes.
2. Add the oil, flours and salt. Beat with a dough hook until dough comes together. If needed add a little more flour. Knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and satiny.
3. Cover and let raise until doubled.
4. Deflate dough and cut into 10 - 12 pieces. Roll into a rope. Tie a knot in the dough and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let raise again.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.

 I brushed mine with butter before they covered and left to rise.
